The yellow-legged hornet (Vespa velutina) is a social Hymenoptera native from Asia and an invasive species in Europe where was first detected in France in 2004 and have spread across the continent reaching peninsular Spain in 2010 and Mallorca island in 2015. Its predatory habits on a broad diversit...
The subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes, is native to North America. In its native range, it is widely distributed in the central and eastern U.S.A. where it plays a significant ecological role as a decomposer of cellulose and is a major pest of human built structures. It has been introduc...
The efficacy of Altriset® 20SC (AI, chlorantraniliprole) in controlling structural infestations of the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes, was assessed in Ohio, North Carolina, and Texas. Prior to chlorantraniliprole treatment, termites were collected from the structure as well as...
Populations of the common bed bug Cimexlecturaliusare undergoing a huge resurgence, but little is known about their patterns of spread and dispersal. We have begun to address this information gap by conducting population genetic studies of bed bug infestations in the U.S. using microsatellite marker...
This ongoing study in central North Carolina is making use of DNA technology (microsatellite genotyping) and long term monitoring to observe the immediate and prolonged effects of imidacloprid on subterranean termite colonies (Reticulitermes spp.) located inside and around residential structures. A ...
Chronic infestations of house mice (Mus domesticus) are a common problem in urban areas within the UK, but little is known about the population dynamics of such populations. As a result of the high number of mouse infestations reported by local residents, an inner city area of Manchester, UK, was se...
To investigate the social organization of Reticulitermes flavipes, we studied three populations in undisturbed wooded areas of North Carolina - one in each of the Piedmont, the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Coastal Plain regions. We collected workers from natural wood debris, genotyped 20 workers per...
The cryptic nature of native subterranean termites,Reticulitermes spp., has posed a serious problem for researchers desiring to study their biology and ecology. The nature of a colony and the parameters that define a subterranean colony have been the topic of recent debate. Some researchers have con...
The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus, is a severe invasive urban pest species. Presumably native to China, this termite has been introduced to many areas of the world including Japan, Hawaii, and the U.S. mainland. Improved regulatory and remedial control of this pest species re...
